Post 10 Good reasons to buy a Porsche

1. Man has to have a real car.
2. Only place where he can be alone is on the way to work
3. Where else can man without public humiliation listen to old seventies rock classics
4. Porsche is cheaper to buy than a house
5. Everybody else on Pelican has one
6. Porsche is beautiful, especially the one you own.
7. Porsche is easier to exchange than wife (Not quite true though)
8. Public transportation is full of screaming kids, mentals, mobile terrorists and drunks.
9. All the money goes to maintaining a car rather than alcohol.
10. Bad conscience about getting a 911 covers the guilt of family negligence.

Ok, these were from finnish magazine and I translated them so, they might not sound what I meant

I guess this is why the Finns are not called the comedians of Europe?

Lessons learnt whilst owning a Porsche:
1) It may cost you alot more than you bargained for!.
2) If you care for it, it will become more than just a mode of transport/possesion, etc.
3) This site may just enable you to keep it longer than you would have been able to alone (unless you have a bottomless wallet)
4) Problems-Persevere, the answer is sometimes right in front of you!. With hindsight 'Why didn't I see that before!'.
5) People without problems probabley will not view this site- You are not alone!.
6)The list probabley goes on, but that is all I can think of for the moment

How about that I sell my car for what I bought it for, despite putting 10,000 miles on it. (Not that I ever would!)

The post was never meant to be humourous
WE BRITISH invented humour!
It was meant to be more philosophical.
Actually I did'nt realize the original post was supposed to be funny!.
I guess humour just does not translate!

Top Ten

10. I wanted an afforable Ferrari.
9. I wanted a dependable Ferrari.
8. I never get called by friends anymore when they move. (unlike when I owned a mini van)
7. I like being at eye level with jacked up Blazers and Broncos.
6. I hate roomy interiors.
5. I get a devious satisfaction setting off car arlarms with my sport exhaust.
4. I like correcting people when they say "Porsche" as a one syllable word.
3. Practicallity is for wimps.
2. Give me a motor that drips oil on the garage floor and I'm a happy camper.
1. I got tired of the valets parking my Yugo at the junkyard.
